I'm looking for a new fish house. Right now my dad I fish out of an Eskimo suitcase style, however my wife has learned to enjoy ice fishing too. The problem is it's not big enough for 3 people / heater / bait bucket, etc. I'm looking at a Clam 1060, figuring it'll give me the same amount of floor space, but the extra 2 feet (approx) on either side for holes it about what we need. We're not really into a flip over since 3 fising shoulder to shoulder all the time is going to be tight. An Otter double wide (or similar) is a little too big if it's just me or just 2 of us. I guess I have 2 questions. 1. Does anyone know of another fish house built similar to the Clam 1060? and 2. Can anyone tell me if you're only fishing 2 people, can you "tie" or secure one side flat to the upright poles so you're not having to extend that side of the canvas out? It's hard because none of the stores have one set up so I can actually see it before I buy one.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
